Local search is widely recognised as one of the major growth areas for SME advertising. Neighbourhood Numbers directly connect consumers with local providers in the manner that SME's prefer; via the telephone.

Neighbourhood Numbers allow consumers to connect with providers in 'real time' when it's most convenient for them, regardless of their access to the newspapers or the internet.

Leads are great but sales are better! Research has proven that customers prefer to contact businesses via the phone when making buying decisions. Neighbourhood Numbers not only give providers access to more of these genuine sales enquiries, they can also allow providers to measure exactly how many enquiries they receive. A feature that can be displayed on the providers phone (for example) is "incoming call from 1300 PLUMBER" which reinforces the value of the product every time a consumer calls the number.

Neighbourhood Numbers are the logical number for customers to call when they need goods or services. Need a mechanic? Call 1800 MECHANIC. Need a plumber? Call 1300 PLUMBER. It's that easy.

Customers prefer to shop locally and businesses prefer to deal with local customers. Why waste money travelling long distances, when customers are on your doorstep? Neighbourhood Numbers are just that, the convenient way for customers to contact local businesses at anytime, saving businesses and customers the time, money and hassle of travelling.

Neighbourhood Numbers are one of the few exclusive marketing products available to providers, giving them a serious competitive advantage.

Ads with Neighbourhood Numbers are proven to be up 23 times more memorable than ads using standard telephone numbers. This means Neighbourhood Numbers are top of mind with customers and means more of the genuine sales leads that advertisers want.
